hi friends I'm struggling with this very simple sample remoting application.
What I am doing is simply testing remoting but when I change the channel to
HTTP it refuses to work

it gives the error of

Exception caught:
Invalid SOAPAction specified:
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/clr/nsassem/play.ICa
lc/ICalc#Add"

when infact the address I specified is simply that of localhost.

but in this sample application as soon I change the connection mode to tcp
the application works...

I'm really don't know why I've poured through several books and been looking
at this code for a very long time and can not get it to work

please help

thanks
Tom

do you have proxy settings in your IE browser? It is possible that you need
to "ignore local addresses." In your code, you may want to take the HTTP
proxy into account. Otherwise, the default from your IE settings will
apply.
